How come red states have higher rates of welfare and lower taxes then blue states? How does this equate to dems wanting things? shouldn't you be happy that the leeches lost the other day? Or do you have evidence that counters my facts.

Many of the people in Red states aer leeches as well.....high rates of welfare and food stamp use......high rates of medicaid....then the upper class leeches.....who get corporate welfare,,,....big time tax breaks.....tax shields......huge farming subsidies......EVERYBODY has their hands in the till...not just those who support the Democrats....

yes the people who voted for the Democrats want things....like equal opportunity, the right to control their bodies.....equal pay....fair immigration policies...etc

Also, Those harp programs let a lot of people refi which lowered their interest rate 1-1.5% if they were in good standing with their current lender and could go full doc. Without those the foreclosure rate would of been much worse.

How the heck does something like that happen? Seriously? You're bordering on Coach territory. Sorry Coach, but ... let's get real here.

Apparently you have a short memory. See my thread about the 2004 election and tell me that the Dems weren't as dejected, depressed, and demoralized over Bush's re-election as Republicans are about Obama's re-election.

Imagine if Republican Governors would have used the stimulus funds as stimulus rather than to balance their budgets just how many more cops, firemen and teachers we'd have on the streets and how much lower the unemployment rate would be.

Schhh they want to believe a manufactured lie dont spoil it with truths and facts.

They simply show that states that are considered "red" take in more welfare and pay less taxes. States that are "blue" have the inverse of that relationship. Now does this indicate that there are more people on welfare who are in fact republican? no, its an epidemiological enterprise and hence correlational in nature. What it does say is that states with more republicans have more welfare. It also shows that states with republican leaders are welfare queens in comparison to their blue counterparts.
